Alright, I just found out why that is: Lighweight tags are not stored as
Git objects. As soon as I make it an annoted tag by specifying a
message, "cat-file tag" do esnot display a fatal error anymore.
However, I still get information about the commit oject iintsead of the
tag object. Is this expected?
Regards,
Sebastian
